Shadows

soon the shadows on the wall
are all that will be remembered.

she moved with the smooth seduction of a reptile
as the room wrapped itself around her
she smiled with the darkness in her eye's.

her shadow stands beside her
while she points a finger of lies into a round window
where her victims stand on the other side.

they stand in wonder as she speaks
believing all of her lies
drinking the sweet taste of her venom
as it drips from the corners of her smile.

and like the black widow
leaving only memories behind
she moves around the room pointing at the shadows
that know she will be leaving soon.

with little more than the blink of an eye
the world will see her cry.

they wish not to remember but no one will forget
the reptile's shadow trapped inside her room.
